Hygiene Of Consciousness. Vyacheslav Gusev

Imagine what a person would look like and what kind of smell would he have, who would not wash from birth, wash, brush his teeth, cut his hair, or comb? Even if he still sometimes used perfumes and cosmetics in order to smell better and look better - how would you be a sight?

At the same time, he would sniff his own smell and not notice it, but the stench of those around him would plunge him into a rage, and he would be outraged by the general stench.

In the best case, people attend some kind of training, which resembles an attempt to pour a box of perfume on themselves at once, and for some reason it is believed that the more expensive the perfume, the better the effect. But the fact that a room is sprayed with a synthetic air freshener will not make the room cleaner, it is advisable to wash and ventilate it, and then the air freshener is not required.

My teacher in bodily practices, Vladimir Nikitin, once said that the body trains continuously and if a person spends an hour a day on training, and the rest of the time does not live in his body, he will not see a living and healthy body, at best trained, not it is known why and for what purposes.

But it’s the same with consciousness. It, just like our body, and our home needs certain hygienic skills, and even better in training, and even better in living. And it’s very good when a person learns to continuously process the discomfort of his consciousness at the moment of its appearance, as soon as something is spilled, and not wait until it dries up, or someone comes and cleans it up. This is the difficulty of working with consciousness. If you can hire someone to clean the house, then mental cleaning, even with someone's help, requires its own efforts.

Just as standing next to a person in a couple of minutes it becomes clear how long he has not washed, and when communicating with any person - after a couple of minutes it becomes clear how much he tidies up in his mind: this one clearly has not washed since birth, this one loves to water himself with different perfumes, this one went to a real bath a couple of times, and this one knows how not to get dirty at all. Master.

When someone next to me starts complaining about someone, I have a standard answer: "I will gladly listen to your story about what you personally did to make things different." There is someone's wise phrase: "If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem."

I met an acquaintance who began to complain about how bad and ungrateful his daughter was. I didn't want to listen to him. It is impossible to help a person who has a "bad daughter". But a person who says: "I lack paternal competence" - you can somehow help. At least share your paternal experience with your teenage daughter.

Feel the difference between: "Let's get my daughter dirty together" and "Help me clean up, otherwise I'm over my ears"? In the first trial, I do not want to participate, and in the second I can answer: "Take my favorite shampoo, brother. It even helps against fleas, not only against cockroaches."

I am not very happy with the slogans of politicians who promise to bring everyone to clean water and at the same time do not promise their own sincerity and honesty. When a dirty and not washed cleaning lady promises to wash everything around, it is obvious that she will stain even more. Can you imagine what would happen in parliaments if people could smell each other's thoughts? The guards and cleaners would refuse to go to work.

American psychologist Peter Lawrence argued that the presence of a chronic psychosomatic illness is a sure sign of professional incompetence.

I described in the book a client with bronchial asthma who worked as a prosecutor. At the very first meeting, he discovered that his bronchial asthma is a lot of stopped aggression and that in order to heal he should learn to consciously and intelligently handle this energy. His work as a prosecutor was compensation for his unhealed grievances. His whole life, all his relationships, are built in such a way as to serve this garbage in his mind. To use the housing metaphor, it looks like, instead of wiping up a dried stain on the floor, this person put all the furniture in his house around this stain. After the first meeting, the asthmatic prosecutor consulted with his wife and decided to stay as he is, not "ruining his life." And continue to "break the lives of other people", trying to compensate for their illness. "Who are the judges?"

But "civilized people" are all like this prosecutor. Once, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a film in Russia about the influence of the garbage of Mikhail Suslov's consciousness on the development and support of world terrorism. It’s a pity I don’t remember its name, I would have watched this film with pleasure. Issak Babel wrote that the short-sighted Kerensky overlooked Lenin and the October Revolution. And Lenin himself clearly did not solve the story of the death of his brother. Only this can explain his cruelty. On the face of Yanukovych, more and more often the expression of a small, very offended child is noticeable. And in Russia, observant people are increasingly writing about Putin's screaming loneliness. And certainly a book titled "Yeltsin's Heart" would become a world bestseller.

There are no bad people in this world, there are simply no skills in the hygiene of consciousness. Incredibly, in the twenty-first century there are still people who believe that diseases of the body, troubles in life and garbage in the mind are three different, unrelated processes. Scientists, educated people.

When we visited the Indians, I noticed on the faces of the Indians an amazing expression of sympathy and compassion. "Why are you looking at us like that?" I asked the Indians. “You come to us very dirty,” they replied. What do you say to that? Sad.

In my opinion, there is a minimum set of hygienic skills of consciousness. Ability to handle elementary garbage. Skills to do something with basic negative judgments, such as: envy, jealousy, resentment, disappointment, hatred, anger, desire for addiction, conflict. This is the same minimum hygiene kit as washing your face, brushing your teeth and shaving under your armpits. The elementary list is not even an average level and definitely not aerobatics. Without this minimum set, any consciousness sooner or later becomes a trash heap. Instead of just cleaning up their relationships, people tend to throw out the old ones and have new ones - clean ones. But the rubbish of old relationships does not disappear from this !!! Nowhere.

Would you let your children go to school if all the teachers in it were dressed and smelled like homeless people? But the overwhelming majority of teachers do not possess these elementary skills in the hygiene of consciousness. I allowed my son at school to answer the question: "Why didn't I learn?" answer what he really thinks. And one of the male teachers met his son alone in the corridor and said: "I hate you!" Hug and cry this teacher.

After basic skills, it would be good to develop the means of dealing with difficult moments in your life. And anyone who knows how to grow flowers from garbage and helps others in this skill brings the most tangible benefits.

Imagine a news message: “An unthinkable shame has befallen our country. Instead of spending millions of your money, dear taxpayers, training an army of educated and skilled peacekeepers and selling their services around the world, our government has developed a new expensive weapon and plans to sell it to other insane people. We are very ashamed to inform you about this, dear fellow citizens. My tongue refuses to talk about it live. At least one announcer. At least on one channel.

Once the three of us sat with a famous Master and his wife. The Master's wife and I had a clear sympathy. "Aren't you afraid that something will happen between us?" - I asked him jokingly? “So I will live out my jealousy,” the Master answered without batting an eye. Here is the answer of a person who owns his own consciousness. He did not say: "I will consider you a bastard," or: "I'll beat my wife." He said: "I will work with my consciousness." That's why he is the Master. "Heal yourself and thousands will be healed around."

For me, it really is an incomprehensible mystery why the civilized world does not like mental hygiene so much. I have only one version: an insane fear of losing anything. Even if it has long become obsolete and become trash. It is very similar to the behavior of older people, who the more they fear death, the more difficult it is to part with all the trash. Any full-fledged work with consciousness implies transformation, albeit small, but dying. The husk flies off the present remains. In a culture of a frenzied and unconscious fear of death, they cling to the husk so much that they lose the present. Death is a great cleaning lady. She cleans everything up.

Once a woman came to me with a ready-made receipt: “I voluntarily ask Dr. Gusev to hit me in the heart and save me from unhappy love for my ex-husband. For what will happen to me after this blow - I ask Dr. Gusev not to blame."

The work with her went just in the opposite direction. That love in her heart for her ex-husband is alive and real, but all her grievances and claims are, alas, already at death. And she has a good choice - to kill her heart so that it does not hurt, or to let go of her unfulfilled hopes in peace, so that they do not hurt her heart. Of course, hope is always more valuable.

Once I met a woman whom I asked her to prefer: that her husband died, but remained faithful to her, or changed, but remained alive. “Of course, to die,” she answered without hesitation. And this is called love ?! Would I like to be loved "to the grave"?

“You shouldn't bend under the changeable world - Let it bend under us better…” - once Andrei Makarevich sang the motto of a whole generation and inevitably became very stooped. Why do you think?

Arnie Mindell has the exact opposite phrase: "Either you become flexible and mobile, or the world will find a way to destroy you: no matter what it is called - a disease or a car accident." My observations about life suggest that Mindell should be trusted more.

Most of my social media posts over the years are actually all about specific mind hygiene skills.

Only. The most basic elementary skills. Only occasionally do I mention something beyond: the cultivation of flowers of consciousness.

The garbage displaced from consciousness does not disappear anywhere. It accumulates in the biosphere. Civilized humanity does not yet believe in this. But it is so. Just as someone else can slip on a banana peel thrown by the urn, so the energies displaced from consciousness do not disappear anywhere, they either begin to be reflected in the body in the form of diseases, or spill out into the biosphere in the form of garbage, into which anyone can now fall. If he does not know how to maintain the hygiene of his consciousness.

In this case, terrorism can be defined as "the persistent conviction of humanity that blunt violence helps to resolve any conflict." Anyone who believes in this is a terrorist, even if he does not run around the streets tied with explosives, but only terrorizes his household. In my picture of the world, a child is turned into a terrorist in the first grade of school, when he is forced instead of interested. And so with all general social phenomena such as: crime, corruption, poverty, unemployment, etc.

I wrote about this in my article "On the election of the mayor of Moscow", there is no need for any supernatural feats, and gigantic rallies in the squares. Anyone who keeps his mind clean creates a healthier space around him. The most difficult task in this world is not to lie to yourself. And then all of humanity will catch up.

Pura Vida. With all my love. Vyacheslav Gusev.
